Sabres vs. Golden Knights Preview
This system highlights situations where a home team comes off a comfortable win at home while their opponent also comes in with some recent success, but has been on the road.
The perception of momentum often inflates the price of the home side as the market expects another strong performance, but history shows that teams playing in the same building after a convincing home win are vulnerable to complacency.
At the same time, road teams traveling in off a win tend to carry sharper focus and urgency, especially when the host team may not feel the same pressure to respond. This creates value in fading the so-called fat and happy home side, whose recent success can mask underlying flaws and lead to an overpriced line.
